Honesty the Rest IpoIIcyr

If the plate telegraph paper would
pay more attention to publishing the
news and less to belittling the popula-
ton of our city it might possibly have
some show of increasing its list of sub
scribers and paying its printers. If
Honesty is the Best Policy" practice

TIE Manhattan Daily Republic very
pointedly and truly says: lone of the
things that every city resident can en-
joy is daily paper, and the evening
daily is the coming paper. 1t Is the
working mans paper. After his day S
work is done he will sit on his porch in
summer and by the fireside in winter
and read the local and telegraphic
news. The daily will give just matter
enough to satisfy him-all the most inn
Portant news of the world. One fault
of the times is the deluge of reading
matter that some of the great dailes
contain, most of which is never even
SKINNED over, and that read is so has
tily done that little good results. Con-
densation and more thorough reading
should be cultivated

Besides. our boom is just now absorb

Col. 81. G. Cross informs us that ar
rangements are about completed by

Union Pacific will be extended to this
city the present season-that Col.
Lenard of Lawrence and some other
gentlemen have gone on to Boston to
have the contract signed up, the gen.
eral terms of which have already been
agreed upon. This line, as well as that

READING NEWS

APRIL 9.-The dry weather still con-
tinues and people are digging wells in
the pastures and pumping water for
their stock. y reliable citizen told us
last week that he had been in twenty
counties in Kansas within the last ten
days, and that Lyon county is about
the best off for water and crop pros
spects of any of them. Here the oats
crop is damaged by the cinch bug and
dry weather. Early planted corn is
not full stand and some fields are be-
ing replanted, while that planted the
last week in April is looking splendid.
But everybody seems to desire rain the
most of anything, if we m8y Judge by
the talk we hear. How many actually
pray for it is hard to tell. Clouds come
larger than a mans hand, but drop no
rain. Possibly the Emporia land boom
ers may bring rain and cause great
rejoicing.

RUDeraI oT David @ Dayis.

On Saturday evening at 9:2O, f con
gestion of the brain, after an illness of
three days, at his residence, 118 Mer-
chants street, David G.. Davis, son of
William Davis of Coal creek, Lyon
county. The deceased was born in
Meironithshire, North Wales, April 8,
1856. He came to this country with
his parents in October, 1870, and has
resided in Emporia and vicinity ever
since. He was married to Mrs. Ann
Jones in August, 1877. Years ago he
was in the employ of Lewis Lutz in the
hardware business, and afterwards
with n. E. Weaver s. Co., but left the
hardware business several years ago to
join his brother-in-law, P. H. Hughes,
in the grocery trade. The partnership
was dissolved about eighteen months
ago, when he again accepted position
with N. e. Weaver s. Co., which goes
a long way to show his ability and popu-
larity as a business man. He was
also an active member of the WEIGH
Congregational Church. He was
familiarly known by all as Dave: and
was general favorite with everyone
| that knew him, always wearing pleas
| ing countenance and a humorous mood,
| and always ready to give any assistance
to his fellow men especially in cases of
sickness and distress, no single person
/ in the city has attended more on the
sick and needy than poor Dave. He
leaves a wife and five children, includ
ing Willie and Llewellyn Jones, besides
a father and mother, brothers and
sisters and a host of friends to mourn
his loss.
The funeral of David G. Davis took
place Monday at p. m. The services
which we're most soiemn.and impress
i've were held at the Welsh Congrega-
tional Church, ond were conducted by
Revs. Evans, Rees, Jones and several
others, and the remains laid to
rest at Lower Dry Creek.
cemetery. The bereaved relatives have
the sympathy of the entire community
in this, their hour of affection. The
funeral cortege was one of the largest
ever seen in this city, which is strong
testimony of the love and respect in
which he was held by his fellow citi-
Zens. Members of the different hard
ware stores acted as pail bearers.
